 Tournament poker has been getting more and more popular as time has been progressing. There are so many players who have the dream of playing in a poker tournament one time and hitting it big to change their lives that the field has grown immensely. Knowing how to play correct tournament poker is very important to your success. Tom McEvoy’s book Tournament Poker is a great read to help you get to that pro level of poker skill that everyone should have.
There are a lot of poker books out there that address tournament play. McEvoy starts his book giving the reader some of the basics of tournament strategy. This is essential to learning the later ideas that he teaches about. McEvoy is an experienced tournament player and has all the experience necessary to guide even a young starting player towards their first big tournament victory. The basics that he teaches at the beginning of the book have been more than learned by McEvoy. He has mastered the basics and then proceeds to get a little more in depth with his text.
The majority of the book is about the different poker strategies that a player can use in tournaments for the various games. This portion of the book is a large section and will benefit players of any game named. Although the reader might not play all of the games mentioned, the theory as a whole will help them out. McEvoy displays his teachings about the different games in a way that they all relate to one another so that readers from all of the games can appreciate the book as a whole.
Each of the sections about the different games are relatively short and are probably gone over more in depth in other books that are specific to the exact game. These sections of the book are rather short, but have pretty good information in them overall. The book doesn’t go into the detail that some players would ask for, but it is a great book for a new player too look over and try to make a decision about what poker game they feel would be the best for them.
In the closing section of the book there is advice on the approach to take on the different types of tournaments and sit-n-gos. He talks about satellite tournaments, small buy-in tournaments and various other forms of tournament poker.
Overall Tournament Poker by Tom McEvoy is a great read for anyone who is new to poker. I recommend reading this book before getting into any serious poker games. For players who already have a reasonable knowledge of poker games the book might be easily skipped over. If you are looking for basics of poker tournament play then Tournament Poker by Tom McEvoy is a great book for you.
